    Been many times to Brockham Bonfire. Really fantastic fireworks and atmosphere. A gorgeous little village full of character and charm.

    I remember watching the fireworks at Brockham from BoxHill don't ask me when!
    Brockham is certainly a quaint historic village that I've not been to for 40+ yrs!!

    These villages along the A25 are so lovely that there cannot be anyone who would not like to live there.

      They are nice but too close to London for my liking!

      yes i guess your right. I’ve been up North a long time now and forget what it’s like. I live on one of the main roads going south to travel to Scotland and Cumbria and it not as noisy as one or two of the villages you featured.

    Very enjoyable and informative, especially Matthew's background information on planning and buildings.

      They walk into a building that's older than anything within 1100 miles of my house........"it's not terribly old"😂. You got to love England.

      @@thinking-as-I-wander I think I am correct in saying that over half of the UK's housing stock is over 100 years old!

      @@MrNas42 my house was built in 1977 and by your guys's standards that would make it Edwardian..... And I stand by what I said you would have to go to cataldo Idaho to the Spanish mission or maybe the Spanish mission in Los Angeles to find something older than that church. I am very envious at the lengths that you guys go to to save and preserve old stuff I would love to have the stuff in my town that you guys do nearby I am very jealous.

    Thanks Richard, another lovely video. My mum was born in Brockham, (not this part) I didn’t realise how beautiful it was.

    Brockham was an idyllic little village! Yes I could rather imagine Miss Marple riding past you on her bicycle.🚴‍♀️ I kept waiting for you to play the music as walked.😕 LOL😁😉 Loved the village green, the pub, all those houses, the church - the bit on the bridge cracked me up! (Blooper Reel). Another great vid!👍

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I shouldhave dished out the Miss Marple music - although copyright issues sadly!

      I dare say over time other villages will be visited for sure.

    @davidbooth3285 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes it would be nice to live in an idyllic country village with a Miss Marple! However I seem to remember a lot of people tended to snuff it in mysterious ways! I’m starting to think it might have been her?

    • @borderlands6606

      She'd use a large 4 x 4 to deliver the coup de grace in those villages nowadays.

      I thought that you had to pay? Can't remember because it was last year when fireworks happened but idk.
